I just talked with a locksmith who said they *can *buy the Toyota computer, but that it's too costly at ~$6K. So, unless you are in a location where a locksmith can make a profit with enough of a market on lost Toyota smart keys, the dealer will be the only place with the computer.

hope this helps
